Scratches Hints
Where am I going to find an African plant?
1 of 8: This shouldn't be too difficult -- where would you expect to find a plant (particularly within the context of this game)?
2 of 8: Look around the greenhouse...
3 of 8: ... particularly on the second floor.
4 of 8: Check on the desk.
5 of 8: On the left side of the desk is a "strangely attractive" plant.
6 of 8: You cannot remove the plant...
7 of 8: ... but you can take a cutting from it.
8 of 8: Use the shears (found earlier in the right-hand drawer of this same desk) on the plant to obtain a cutting of it in inventory.
